[urgent]get "appleSSD.sys" error when installing windows 7 through bootcamp
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

I did what you suggested but still, Windows 7 fails to start. Now, instead of complaining that it can't confirm the digital signature of file <AppleSSD.sys>, it refers to <\Boot\BCD> and says "An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data."
Using Boot Camp Assistant v5.1.4 (500) under Yosemite in a 2014 MacBook Pro 15" Retina. BCA downloaded Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640. Trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium, x64, from an .iso file created from my original Install DVD,

Hey i've tried all the steps for installing windows 7 and get around the applessd.sys-driver-problem and i managed to install the OS (Win 7) but now i cannot install the bootcamp drivers because it says its a not supported modell. maybe anyone could help me on this issue. I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2012
The answer to the unsigned Solid State Device (APPLESSD.SYS) can be found here:
Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support
I've installed windows 7 bootcamp 4 times now. I have some clever tricks to help you all. There are some problems that lie ahead few have encountered.
First issue - if you are using an expired version of NTFS Paragon, you can't delete the applessd.sys file. OSX won't let you do it. So what do you do? Either buy the full version which is crap cause all they're doing for you is hacking your own system privileges. Shouldn't have to pay for that right?
SOLUTION - Do what I did the 4th time around. And it went something like this.
1. Search Apple support for the Bootcamp drivers relevant to your machine and download. If your machine is MBP 15", so download the bootcamp drivers for that and keep on your computer for later.
2. Using Bootcamp assistant run through all the steps normally. Make sure your USB stick is always on the left side of your laptop, not the right. After Bootcamp has formatted your USB stick, and downloaded the support software, it will want to restart, don't let it restart.
3. After you stopped the restart, open finder and locate your bootcamp usb folder.
4. Merely replace bootcamp files with the ones you downloaded directly from Apple's websites. Do this because for some reason Bootcamp downloads the wrong drivers. It's messed up. So if you want something done right, you do it yourself. While you are replacing the files you will see the applessd.sys file in the bootcamp folder (you don't have to delete it but you can if you want, it will work either way, no worries). Doing it this way will also insure your keyboard and bluetooth mouse work at the time of install, which is a problem you may yet run into.
I have got the same screen, but every time I restart my iMac, it keeps loading onto Windows. How do I reboot OSX?
Reboot and hold Alt/Option key. Choose OS X partition from the Apple Bootmanager screen.
I have pressed the Alt/Option button but it still refuses to show the Apple Bootmanager screen. Instead, it keeps going to Windows Error Recovery.
Did you install/repair the Bootcamp drivers?
Was I supposed to do that? I used Paragon to delete the AppleSSD (just like what the most helpful answer said), but nothing was said about installing/repairing the Bootcamp drivers.
You should still re-install BC drivers for your other Apple hardware to function properly.
Since this is unrelated to the appleSSD.sys issue, would you mind starting a new discussion?
